STOP YOUR FRUSTRATION
LET US HELP FIX YOUR PROBLEMS!

Golf research studies have shown that if you learn good swing fundamentals from the beginning, you will have more golfing success sooner and have more fun.

So, if you have you been attempting to teach yourself or if you're "lucky" enough to have a friend or significant other trying to help you -- our advice is to stop what you've been doing and seek professional instruction before you build bad habits that are hard to break.

The less time you spend building muscle memory of bad fundamentals or trying to manipulate ball flight with clubs that don't work with you, the less time it will take to re-program your brain - and the faster you'll be having more fun on the range and on the course.

Taking a lesson or class with a trained teaching professional is the best way to develop strong fundamentals. Not only can they help you learn to swing and putt correctly, but they'll also help you evaluate whether your equipment is keeping you from hitting it straight or far.

CGC's team of fun, experienced and knowledgeable PGA & LPGA professionals are available throughout the day every day to help you enjoy the game of golf. There are no "stupid" questions and it's never too late to learn to play better, no matter your age or skill level. Several of our instructors offer video lessons to help you see your swing.

We offer a variety of instruction and clubfitting programs, read more: Plus, check out the ALL-NEW Golf-Fit Fitness Program with Sheri Hayes, an 8-session early morning or afternoon class for swing and fitness circuit training beginning April 28.

And, take advantage of a special Golf-for-the-Animals April lesson program with Dori O'Rourke to save you money AND raise money for 3 local animal shelters.

Check out our always-current website event calendar to get the latest information and class dates. Call the pro shop to sign up for events as needed: 760-720-GOLF (4653)

Plus, save an additional 30% on every bucket when you use your range card during happy hours! There's nothing to remember, the machines just debit less money off your card for each bucket during happy hour. And, there's no limit to the number of buckets you can get during a happy hours session.

Don't have your card yet? It's easy to get one in the pro shop - from only $20! More info about range card rates and savings

A Backward View to Course Strategy
A Quick Tip from Instructor Sheri Hayes


If you watched the PGA & LPGA Tour players in their major tournaments over the last couple weeks, you may have noticed that they plot their entire hole strategy from the tee box. You can do the same thing (even without a caddie) to help lower your scores, especially on courses you're playing for the first time.

If you want to play smart golf like the pros do, then just do what they do and play the hole backwards in your mind first.

Click to read the rest of Sheri's "backwards" course strategy tip...


Sheri Hayes, PGA & LPGA Professional, was named to the inaugural LPGA Top 50 Teachers list, was the 2008 LPGA Western Section Teacher of the Year and has been named a USA Top 50 Instructor by several national publications. She instructs private lessons, workshops and one-day golf schools. Click here for more info about Sheri or go to www.smarterlessons.com to schedule a lesson.

Get physically fit for golf with Sheri's new 8-session Golf-Fit class starting April 28.
